If it is raining in the general vicinity of the tennis courts, or within the hour before the scheduled lesson, it is most likely that the lesson will be cancelled. However, if it is not raining, or if rain has ceased within 1-2 hours or more of the scheduled lesson, there is a good chance that the lesson will be held.

A missed lesson with 24-hour advanced notice may be made up on a different day only when approved.
